Friday, September 27, 2019 marks the dedication of the Rockwell Integrated Sciences Center at Lafayette College. The dedication begins with an open house and tours of the building, celebrating its important role as both a new home for integrated sciences and a new campus destination for student and faculty collaboration. Speakers at the event will include President Alison Byerly, Vice President Roger Demareski and PAYETTE Principal Bob Schaeffner, among others.
The building officially opened for classes this August. One of the largest buildings on campus, the new building was designed to fit comfortably in the context of Anderson Courtyard and adjacent buildings. The Center’s brick and glass face provides an inviting beacon signaling its role as both a new campus destination and key community activator at the core of this cherished historic setting.
The new 103,000 SF building houses biology, computer science, environmental science, expansion space for neuroscience and the IDEAL program, an entrepreneurship program connecting engineering and the liberal arts to solve real-world problems.
